Contrast Desk.Complex refinement hidden in plain sight.
Stone and stainless steel.Sincere and eternal…
Stainless steel.Hand polished to a mirror finish.
Quartzite top.Strongest countertop material – quartzite. Natural stone formed by Earth in extreme heat and pressure. Harder than granite and completely free of any flaws and free of any maintenance. Perfectly smooth, glass like top with infinite variety of colors and textures to choose.
All out of a single piece.Quartzite top, enclosing capsule and 2 pillars – 4 parts each machined out of a single piece of material, with a capsule and quartzite top reaching length of 3.20 meters (10.50 feet). No soldering, no joints – pure materials, machined, treated and precisely fit together. Capsule encloses quartzite top with only 0.25 mm gap (250 microns) between them. That is a gap equal to thickness of about 2 times the human hair.
Ready for eternity…Strong on their own and together – carefully engineered pattern inside a monolithic stainless steel capsule reduces weight and maximizes strength. If there would be a weight of a big vehicle - 2.50 tons (5 000 Pounds) - put on an exact center at the diameter of 40 cm (15.75 inches) the Contrast Desk would not bend more than 0.10 mm (100 microns). In other words it would not bend more than a thickness of a single hair.
